Progressive Insurance Spies on Church Groups

An unbelievable story to some, but just old hat to attorney's who deal with Progressive Insurance and their outrageous behavior almost every
day.

Today, it was reported that detectives hired by Progressive Insurance became members of the Southside Christian Fellowship Church in Atlanta in August
2005 in order to get damaging information on two church members involved in a traffic accident.

The detectives talked their way into private support groups where members discussed topics such as abortions, sexual orientation and drug
addiction.

Oh my gosh, tell me it ain't so!!!!! This was a jaw-dropper for me, thanks for bringing our attention to it! Progressive is my ins. co., and I sure
don't like those kind of tactics for either side in an accident claim, etc. Wonder how many of the other ins. co's do similiar things? Makes ya go
hmmmmm...

Insurance companies do this quite often. I used to know a woman who worked as a private investigator for a health insurance company because people
would fake illness and injuries to make false claims. She went undercover to a health club once in order to take pictures of someone who claimed to
be disabled but was working out at the health club. Insurance companies have to protect themselves from the scammers.
